believe in me.

that's sheri the duuck and i in my backyard btw. lovely. haha. i just felt like putting an uplifting picture in this entry.

the darn pw cycle is coming to an end, with our WR almost settled and OP arriving after promos. just like what carol said, it's a complete waste of time. irrelevant and totally unnecessary. but then again, i did it with two wonderful people. (carol wong mui kee and han yanyi! lol.)hahaha. yes, my grp members add up to a total of 3 people. 3 girls, to be exact. dont ask me why, long story.

took a breather and saw these kids kicking on the field. looked quite zai. hahaha. asked jinyu and justina to take a look, and it turned out that jinyu played with those kids before! lol. hence we trooped down to the big lousy green field and took the kids on.

the whole experience was hilarious, we couldnt stop laughing. cos the kids, no taller than my shoulder, kept faking us. haha. humiliating. but then lianfei and his friend joined in and things got better. we scored some, they scored some. i think we were attracting some attention, cos this pugi guy and his friend randomly joined us and it was this one whole big hilarious football frenzy.

the kids kept saying they had to go home by 6.30 pm.
we refused to let them go. hahaha.
but in the end, those cinderella kids packed their balls and left.
but they didnt leave anything behind.
no glass slippers.

why is this evolving into an emo entry. hahaha.
jinyu and i, being two very bored souls, explored the gents beside the atrium. one bad experience. haha.
then esther and justina, another two bored souls joined us and we produced a dumb video. it's a spoof of the mastercard ad. you know, the one with some indian girl saying she wants to buy 5 birds cos her bro's gg on a journey and richard gere flashes his mastercard and suddenly a whole array of birds start flying into the sunset. yepp, that one. hahaha. but it was a retarded video.

justina suddenly received a msg from keli that zixuan's in hospital or something. turned some VS guy kicked his leg during the friendly and his leg swelled up to twice the original size. ouch. reminds me, eunice got elbowed by the bishan arsenal player and some wierd looking bump emerged from her forearm. the last time i saw it, it looked like an egg.

30 plus days to promos.
something has got to be done!

honkee.

keli and i have a sudden fetish for speaking in a honkee accent these days. whenever i see her, i will laugh and the dy/dx thing will just go on and on. hahaha.

i think honkees are cool.
honkees= people from hongkong.

honkees.
honkees.
HONKEES!

:))

and i'm still sixteen.

SWEET SEVENTEEN ESTHER! :)
and i'm still stuck at sixteen. when will i get to proclaim proudly that i'm seventeen, the best age ever, where you're not that young, but not that old either?



in about two months time. hahaha!
take note of eighth october. it's a big day. lol.

someone stayed over at my place on fridaynight. someone who went to geog tutorial late on saturday morning! tsk tsk. LOL.

coach made a surprise visit during prac on friday. i was stunned la. cos he was wearing his soccer jersey, his soccer shorts, and even his soccer socks! he wore that high high socks with normal shoes to nanyang la! omg. fashion disaster. obiang uncle. hahaha. i wasnt feeling well that day. had a sudden bout of gastric, couldnt stand up straight at all. i think i looked like some ah ma who keeps hunching over. it's quite a disturbing image. ithink eunice couldnt stand my groaning. hahaha. maybe it sounded quite sick. but i couldnt help it la. then the gastric sort of went away after sometime.

why is kelvin and his friends always playing football at the pitch on fridays? it's unnerving when you're trying to do some drills properly when yongjin keeps shouting 'crouch'.

crouch sounds wrong.
okay forget that part.

and esther treated us to icecream at icecube! :) thanks darling. i had banana rumba. turn on the samba music man! hahaha. yepp. and we presented her with the first part of her present- the lollipops! hurrays.
the second part is in the making. lol.

jinyu and i agreed that school is getting meaningless without eyecandies. haha. and justina is not helping by pointing out wierd looking people to me. hahaha. speaking of which, justina looks like some guy in 0619. lol.

have you ever felt alone in a crowded room;
when i'm here with you.

shout all you want.

sorry, just being random.
sometimes you just need to scream your head off.
like this.

she waits and waits.

i'm like stoning in front of the com right now.
waiting for the guests to arrive.
where are you guys la!
hahaha.
supposed to finish our SEA hist proj by today.
AND do a lil bit of studying.
still no sign of those two ladies- sheri qwek and mak xue wei.

double up!
hahaha.

my house is in a mess. but no matter, since i am alr so unglam and image doesnt matter anymore.
why am i always caught in unglam moments? tell me.

forget it. i shall just heck everything and be ME! :)

i've got severe muscle aches. tennis and soccer trng tmr? my goodness.

heck WR!

after eternity, we finally got our written report settled. *high five yanyi, carol* this sleepyhead woke up bright and early this morning. hahaha. i usually sleep till like forever. no one dares to wake me up haha. carol's mum and dad were so nice la. bought pizza and chiwgs(chicken wings) for us. good food, good company. :)) okaaayyy, with WR out of our lives, we trooped down to amk. and carol got her ear pierced! scary like what la. and it's like on the upper part of the ear. reminds me of my single ear hole. i dont think i will ever get the other ear pierced. the horror. it's like part of my flesh, i will not allow anyone to use a gun like thingy to shoot it! spare me.

yesterday was cool, but felt bad to let kelvin and the rest wait 2 hours before the friendly game. some guy, i think his name is kwang yit, even bought a new PE tee to play with us! hahaha. see. we are high in demand. hahaa, no la. anyway, i think both sides played well, but they did pull back a little la. afterall, they are gentlemen who wont go rough on girls. i think. hahah.

trng was especially tough, dont know why. and we did a record-breaking 155 scissors.
something complicated happened after trng, but that was that. we all went down to chomp for dinner/supper, and i saw angelia! hahaha. still the same face. and there were these AJ hockey girls camping side chomp. angelia's team mates.

fab dinner!
and jerry treated us all to sugarcane juice. 7 jugs! :)

even the wrong words seem to rhyme;

she's 41!

the night is no longer dark.
and yet, those fireworks could never last.


racial harmony day. (long ago)
one was a fengshui master.


the other was a cuban drug dealer(haha!)


National day eve.
fund-raise aka fun race.



hahaha. look at jonathan.


this just looks terribly wrong. lol.





it was really tiring, but at least it was for a good cause. :))


spastic bel! :)


sing-along session. they were damn high la. haha. look at mingliang!



everything just seemed very red that day. redredREDREDRED.

National Day! :))
she's 41 already.
0601 bbq at jingqin's place.



unglam seq. LOL.



life beyond words.


the bbq pros. i cant barbecue for nuts. ask the soccerettes hahaha.


xuewei enjoying life. lol. get up lazy bum!


ikthia was scary. hahaha.


lol. ama hanging on for dear life.


spastic ikthia.


push him into the pool! lol.



celebrating the nation's birthday with beautiful people.

:))

sweet lullaby.

cartoon faces. hahaha. why didnt you wave back at him pris. wasted. haha.

i cant believe i woke up at 0430 and walked all by meself to jinyu's house. it was a beautiful night, but i was too scared to do anything. i just walked on and on. hahaha.

yes i'm a scaredy cat.

jinyu is a good host! hahaha. justina is fat.

she's rich!


























she's rich too!

so am i! (haha)

LOL. i'm super broke la. sorry to all those i owe money to. hahaha!

did this scare you? hahaha. this is my coach btw, he's a retard.

hurrays! :)

i'm a pro at this. hahaha. at jinyu's house now, supposed to study but then again...

he drives!

i was outside container 3 using the phone when i saw eric(the j2 counsellor) beeping a car, got inside, took out some books, went inside, manuvoured the car a little, tried to park it nicely, got out of the car with his stuff, beeped the car again, walked away, looked at us, smiled, looked a little awkward, and then i tried to hide.



wow.



he drives?



i wanna learn how to drive!
wanna hitch a ride, anyone? lol.

i got my mum to sign that result slip. it was totally horrible. DUUDE. well, at least she signed it. the next time i get her to sign again, it'll be nothing like this one. the honour roll ceremony was an eyeopener, cos you get to see so many people that you havent really seen before in school. and they're all smart people. i didnt realise that TKB was on the honour roll(he's ranked 10th) until cow screamed in my ear. well, it's been a long time since that incident where he sat infront of us in chem prac and we saw his underwear(haha), but it's just a hilarious thing that will probably never go away. i still try not to laugh nowadays when i see him. but sheri is not helping. she keeps laughing.

it was grey i think.
hahaha!

okay we are not perverts but that was really memorable. LOL. 3 for students. 0 for teachers. the crowd was rooting for the teachers though. and that muthabab guy(who runs really fast) scored two goals. lucky lucky lucky. but he's done xinmin proud! :) i think mr chew qi did really well la. and to think i laughed at him when he was warming up. i shall praise him when i see him during GP tutorial. hahaha. and mr mao did alot of running. the midfield was practically empty during the second half. the defenders didnt bother to run up and the forwards didnt go down. the teachers' midfield collapsed.

i'm officially an EXCO member! :) it's a very honourable position. yes, i'm the IT rep. wahaha. hey- dont belittle me. i can set up the visualizer okay. and besides, i get to wear an exco badge. lol. keli, some girl and i are the only three females who are IT reps. that's like 3 out of 36 la. the minority shall rule. girl power! (haha)

chem test.
history test.
SPA2.
SPA3.
national day celebrations.
0601 bbq.
esther's birthday.

too many things, too little time.


i got to listen to a very exciting piece of news on thurs. the head scratching part was really sweet. dreams have turned into reality. i'm so happy for you la esther!! haha. i saw him today, and heard his voice. it's really deep. like rrrr rrrr rrrr. but nevermind, esther likes it. lol.

and now i realise, maybe it's not that hard after all.
and maybe, it's not that faraway after all.

maybe when you reach out, it's actually possible.

library madness.

hahaha. doesnt she look like that stuffed porcupine like thing? :)
that thing can be found at the school library cosy corner btw. haha, you can go sit on it if you like.

i'm at xuewei aka cow's house now, supposedly doing the hist proj. haha, madness! i saw the trailer for angel on the seventh step. it looks pretty good. actually part of the reason why i wanna watch it is cos it's filmed in school. haha. sheesh i'm like sitting on cow's brother's bed right now, using his com. hope he doesnt come back and see this random person hogging his com. i'd better run. more when i get home! :)

TGIF.

TGIF.
thank god it's FRIDAY.

i absolutely adore fridays, cos it's basically the slackest day of the week for me. haha. only one econs tutorial and then an econs lecture at LT4. life is wonderful :) and then, there's trng to look forward to later in the evening. is it just me, or am i losing the motivation to go for trngs. something's just different somehow, i dont know what. to begin with, the people are still there. the game is still soccer. so why am i feeling this way? who knows.

the best things in life- having a riot at chomp! hahaha. one of our fav hangouts i must say. i mean, for just a few bucks, i can have sugarcanewithlemon, sambal stingray, cheekweh, barbecued chicken wings, eggbeancurdwithyam, and the list goes on. and we just laughed on and on about eyecandies, not-so-eyecandies, ridiculous couples, eccentric people etc. i'm living life at its fullest. my stomach is also at its fullest. rub it and see. (haha)

and please la, bonn is only my ex-classmate and good friend la. you guys dont talk rot la. hahaha. but i agree that he has a cartoonic face. LOL!

my mum brought a dog back home. i am quite scared, but i think i'll warm up to it soon enough. btw, do dogs shit alot? it just licked me! (hahaha, i almost yelped.)

food glorious food.
i dont mean the dog la.

depp.

how can anyone be so perfect?
hahaha, johnny depp is hot hot HOT!
please, go catch pirates while you can. and stay behind after the credits have rolled.
there'll be a lil surprise.
:)


i really like crashing chinese class. it's damn chaotic, but at the same time, warm and fun. i think the chi teacher knows tho. he called me an intruder this afternoon. oh wells. we tried to rush hist tutorial during the cheena lesson, but anabel and i ended up doing the food list for the upcoming class bbq! hahaha, greedy girls are naughty girls.
trng was fine, and i think we all improved in terms of dribbling, fakes and bringing the ball up. sorry yanyi, for interupting your game. rock on captain! lol.
justina was emo today, and so was jinyu. tsk tsk. it hurts to see you two sad. c'mon, i wanna see a big wide cheeky smile! smile now. hahaha. hmm, justina i hate to tell you this, but there's a piece of veggie stuck between your teeth.

hey- i caused a big commotion today when i announced that julian hee was from nanyang! (the girls went crazy)
i hope i didnt remember wrongly haha.

are you my captain jack sparrow?

ballackheng.

ladies and gentlemen, presenting...
MR BALLACK HENG.


(i cant believe it. a soccer star, right here in nanyang! who coincidentally was my math tutor during PAE, muahahaha.)

national day.

i see the flags.
i hear the songs.
i feel the love.

where are you guys?
ineedyou.


this was a an excerpt from a post i had in my blog, dated december 06, 2005-
four years, excluding the public holidays of course, i spent in xinmin.
though i criticise and ridicule the sch system, the principal, and some teachers,
deep within a certain thumping object of my body,
i love xinmin very, very much.


sometimes you dont learn to treasure certain things until you lose them.
it has become too late for regrets.
when you were inside, you wanted so much to get out.
after four long years,
when you're finally free, you realise that you cant bear to leave.

i need to learn to move on.

happy belated birthday carol darling.
:)
hope you liked the cards. hahaha.

chad.

hope you're feeling better already, justina. yes, what i messaged you was cliche, but whatever la, just want you to know that we do care about you. well, happy racial harmony day anyway. hahaha.
the trip back to xinmin made me learn alot more. i havent felt so happy in a very long time. just chatting with mrchee, mrpah and mrho about life, past and present. sometimes, you cant help but wish it was just like back then, in the yellowishblue school uniform, and not this dowdy brown one. i wish i wasnt just a visitor, or a guest. i wish i was actually a student there, a part of the xinmin family. haha, silly me.
walked home with bonn, he really liked doing pull-ups alot. ah well, i guess he's a true dragonboater. i just stood there, watching him do his thing. it looked like fun, cos he was smiling after he got back on the ground.
after like ages, i went back to my ahma's hse. really missed her and the place alot. and there was this whole spread of yummy homecooked food, unlike the cold, stale dishes i eat at 'home'. i decided to stay for the night. i wasnt going home. yes, it was much smaller as compared to the place at srg gardens, but at least i feel warmth and loved there. i dont need a big house.
i havent been watching the telly for a long time. but last night, i couldnt stop watching. yes, call me a tv addict. and after a long, long while, i think i fell asleep, and there was a blanket on me when i awoke.
i feel blessed.

tuesday bleus.

hopes dashed. i thought there wouldnt be chem prac. you know, with the listening compre a levels and all. but the chemistry dept prevails, and i have to go for prac! grrr. will blog again when i get over this. but till then, RAHHH!!

heads up.

i dont know why, but i just hate mondays. i really do. it's just endless lectures after lectures, tutorials after tutorials. i need to breathe. school is suffocating me. but i'm so glad sheri(duuckie) is there with me. we crap alot throughout the chem and hist lectures, and GP too, we can laugh at anything and anyone. so yes, you can throw long boring lectures straight at us. we'll still be hanging on.
a MAJOR thing happened today- math class was split up. dammit, huijeen-cow-and-eric left us. no more slacking at the back. too bad, our math just cannot make it la. heng ah. we were supposed to go under adrian tan, but i think mrs lim saw my pleading eyes(haha) and TADA! she continues to teach me! whee. i'm her god-daughter. no la, just kidding.
hmm, sequeira mentioned today that PIRATES2 was good. i wanna catch it real soon. johnny depp here i come! muahaha. i wonder, with whom did sequeira watch pirates with? *heh heh heh.
i almost forgot. there was this guy sitting infront of us at the chem lect today and his elbow was like bleeding real bad. he just kept using a tissue to stop it, but it just kept flowing and flowing. i was so grossed out la. i think i have a phobia of blood.
PE was just DUH, cos i cant play tennis for nuts. haha, but sheri seems good at it. i just kept picking up bouncy yellow balls and smacking them either into the net or high up in the air. tennis is not my thing man. huifang, you heard that? hahaha. (i saw you smiling today when there was the tennis awards or sth.)
pastamania-ed with keli, esther, sylvia, justina, huiyen, kaiyang and phyllis. beef bolognese is good :) i ate esther's garlic bread pieces too hahaha. greedy me. oh- we saw this nanyang couple holding hands. i dont know what to say.
chomp-ed just now, and i resisted the temptation of chicken wings. hurrays! justina was whining for chee kweh tho. tsk tsk. bad girl.
cheer up ESTHER darling. malu-ness is inevitable in this school.hahaha, we'll be there fer you. hey- i will make it to the grandstand on time someday! i've been like running like siao everyday to school. this, i believe, is the key to being fit.


(random picture of my cousin REUBEN.i'm awaiting his arrival to my place this sat. he always messes up my room!)

divas!

DIVA LA FUTBOL. one long, tiring, but nevertheless memorable day spent with the soccerettes and soccerettez. they're addressed differently haha. well, things took a turn in the morning when justina told me the seniors lacked a player. but then it all worked out fine because fortunately, i brought my boots! :) yepp, i donned sherlene's jersey and played for the seniors' team instead. we all fought hard, but didnt go very far. but heck- we had fun.


haha, took this on the shuttle bus on the way to turf city. she's so cute!


jinyu looks really radiant here. ah, must be the effects of my good photog skills haha.


i took this shot too. (obviously, i was really bored)


and this! i think that was maria juggling the ball.


well, this came about because i saw this girl, she was supporting her friend, i think her friend hurt her ankle or something. but it just was a very sweet thing to do. so i secretly photographed them. we all need somebody to lean on.


beautiful evening.

okaaayyy so we headed down to NEWTON CIRCUS to have dinner(i was groaning by then, was really hungry) and the whole place was just packed. we had to wait a long time for seats. and the people there are really unfriendly. well, i guess there's a price to pay when it comes to good food. speaking of food, keli and i invented this new drink.



introducing the PRAWN COCKTAIL.


(yes, we were really bored)

U-tube.

i guess by now you would have heard of the term people coined as 'U-TUBE'. it's quite heartwarming really, to see everyone laughing about their string of Ungraded subjects, and promising to work harder the next time round. that's the spirit guys. we must all work together, i believe we can all make it somehow. yes, i got a U for chem. we fell, but we can get back up. take my hand, will U? (pun intended, hahaha)

Run
Running all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side

Me
I'm the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the most

I'm so sorry that I'm falling
Help me up lets keep on running
Don't let me fall out of love
Running, running
As fast as we can
I really hope you make it (Do you think we'll make it?)
We're running
Keep holding my hand
It's so we don't get separated

let's keep on running. on the field. hahaha.

i just read eunice's blog, and it's damn funny la. hahaha, he sounds like the right person for her. and as encouragement to everyone else and their eye candies,it's time to think about why it's not just your eye candying away, it's your face blushing, your throat drying, your limbs freezing, your hair frizzling, your knees weakening, your hands shivering, your toes cringing, your mind exploding and your heart that's stopping.

i reckon you're in love.
(hahaha!)

no one really knows what they are searching for.

but i'm so thankful that i found them.
:) let there be love, and nothing else.

this is hilarious.

well, what can i say. cry your heart out man!
latest update- i passed history! and that means, if i manage to pass my GP, i will meet the promotional requirements. i dont want no parent teacher conference no.
no no no.

smoke smoke SMOKE.

well, the sports carnival was horrifying but heck that. still missing the xinmin sports day hahaha, where everyone pretty much lost their voices after everything. WHOA mr mao can really run. at first i saw a guy running damn fast and was like thinking WOAH. and then he dashed past me and i realized it was MR MAO! for such a small sized guy, he can really move it. exciting. okay mr sequeira was fast too, but in the end mr mao's group won the teacher's race. well, it's okay, since all the teachers tried their best. that is what really matters, isnt it? :))

but the really happening news was-
SOCCER came in 2nd for the inter-CCA mixed relay! that was so awesome. the girls ran so fast la. and then oliver really blew everyone away by 'flying' across the track. the rest of the soccer guys hit it hard too. and then at the end, we were only behind the dragonboaters and neck in neck with the track and field team. can you imagine? WOW. someone from the track team threw the baton and like caused his team to be disqualified. such a shame. but in the end, soccer got 2nd and everyone was like really glad. i'm so proud of them :))


SOCCERETTES BBQ! :)
i buttered like countless stuff. that is my only responsibility hahaha. oh, besides that, i am also mainly in charge of eating. nothing ever changes. we sat on the rocks and just looked at the waves. and talked. and talked. and talked.

i think i moved along.

the true meaning of boredom.

people can get really bored in the i-space. especially when there's no one around except for you and your spastic friends. guess what happens when three girls get hold of some cameras.



carry me through this storm.


and we'll emerge smiling like survivors.

straighten up lil soldier.

as much as i wish, all these can never be undone. i can never go back to the past. quoting the all american rejects, i just have to move along.

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through

move along, cheryl dan.
